Our bikes

Our bikes are top of the range 24 gear, hybrid style, Scott Sportster touring bikes which provide an upright riding position taking the pressure off your neck and wrists.  These bikes also feature front suspension, comfortable saddles and are fully equipped with panniers (optional), odometers, locks, bottle holder and emergency repair kits.

For safety reasons all cyclists must wear a correctly-fitted, legally compliant helmet.  Tākaro Trails can provide a helmet but you are very welcome to bring your own or purchase one prior to your tour.
